Azure Plan to dev/test?

Question

Hi!

We have a customer who are currently on Azure Plan, and they have quite many subscriptions which are used for dev/test purposes. They also have Visual Studio licenses (Pro and Enterprise). Question(s):

1. Would it be possible to convert these subscriptions into dev/test subscriptions to be able to apply Azure's dev/test offering? If yes, how is this done?
2. If it is not possible to convert an existing subscription into a dev/test one, I assume they would need to create a new one to then apply the dev/test offer? If so, how is this done?

Thanks in advance, and have a nice day!

Regards

Joel Sundström

Hello @Joel Sundström

It is possible to convert existing subscriptions into dev/test subscriptions to be able to apply Azure's dev/test offering.
Refer:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devtest/offer/quickstart-create-enterprise-devtest-subscriptions
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devtest-labs/devtest-lab-guidance-scale

Go to the Azure Enterprise portal and select Manage in the left navigation area

• Select the Subscription tab on the Subscription page, select +Add Subscription
• Pick the desired authentication type
• Enter a friendly name to identify the Subscription in reporting
• Enter the Subscription Owner Email address to associate with the new Subscription
• Confirm the email address and then select Add
• After you've chosen the subscription to create an enterprise Azure dev/test subscription, add the appropriate subscription offer
• Sign in with your Microsoft Azure credentials
• After you sign in, you're directed to a page that lists the offers available. Toggle yes in the EA portal to see enterprise offers.
• Select the enterprise dev/test offer and create your subscription.

For any reasons, if it is not possible to convert an existing subscription into a dev/test one, then you will need to create a new one to then apply the dev/test offer.

Hi @Anonymous

I will suggest you to contact billing team for this query as you have multi subscription and best approach is to contact for further inquires into this - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request#go-to-help--support-from-the-global-header
